First Baptist churches in Auburn and Tallahassee were waging a friendly Twitter war this week over whose hometown team will take the BCS Championship game Jan. 6.

According to The War Eagle Reader blog, the social media exchange began Monday when Senior Pastor William Shiell of First Baptist Tallahassee tossed out a comment asking who would win the matchup, tagging both accounts.

Auburn First Baptist replied with a Bible verse, and an amicable battle ensued.
One tweet from @auburnfbc said: "The eagle flew with its wings, and it reigned over the earth and over those who inhabit it."

Eventually, a mission trip was being wagered, with the winning team's church expected to plan a joint mission project for students in the two congregations.
